To better understand the impact of AI in employment-related contexts, we conducted two experiments (the first being pre-registered) investigating how the use of AI by applicants influences their job opportunities. [(Link)](https://doi.org/10.1089/cyber.2020.0863)
We examine a gap between availability and accessibility as it relates to the adoption of AI-Mediated Communication (AI-MC) tools - including voice-assisted communication, language correction, predictive text suggestion, transcription, translation, and personalized language learning tools - by conducting an online survey.

We provide a review of five methodological developments poised to provide increased understanding in the domain of social media and well-being: (1) the use of longitudinal and experimental designs; (2) the adoption of behavioural (rather than self-report) measures of SMU; (3) a shift away from aggregate use; (4) the emergence of an idiographic media effects paradigm; and (5) the use of formal modelling and machine learning.

Through a meta-analysis, we investigate the relationship between self-reported and device-logged media use. [(Open Access Link)](https://rdcu.be/ckK81)
Two randomized experiments (n = 1036) provide evidence that a commercially deployed AI changes how people interact with and perceive one another in pro-social and anti-social ways. We find that even though AI can increase communication efficiency and improve interpersonal perceptions, it risks changing users’ language production and continues to be viewed negatively.

We examine the possibility that different associations between social media and depression may be caused by the survey design itself, not by underlying differences in depression. [(Open Access Link)](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2056305120961784)
